Information
Date and time SS Information
31.08.2026 15:08 17 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): The road is very, very greasy and still a lot of moisture in the deep cuts from overnight, so very tricky. It will be interesting to see if the road is fast or slow. I expect it to be fast on the gravel, but maybe a bit slower on the Tarmac. We will see.
31.08.2026 15:08 16 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was a little bit easier especially in the forest. There was a lot of ruts so it easier to keep the car on the road. There were lot of loose stones on the road. and we had tyres that are pretty worn.
31.08.2026 15:08 15 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously there is a bit of cleaning but Séb is going much quicker, I am a bit worried.
31.08.2026 15:08 14 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It was bad in there but I didn't want to slow down too much. So yeah, not an easy stage for me, but yeah, it's quite a different profile from the other stages, and I just wanted to try to give it a bit more rhythm to see if we find a little bit more speed, because generally I feel like it's not great.
31.08.2026 15:08 13 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): It's a bit painful here now, but we will get through today, no worries. Next stage is a water section. It's the most bumpy and shaking around. So I will do a proper warm-up before that one.
31.08.2026 14:08 12 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I would say it was the most tricky stage of the morning. There was lots of grip changes and a bit of mud. It was a clean stage for us. I am trying things on the car that I usually wouldn't.
31.08.2026 14:08 11 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): I took it a bit more steady on the couple of big jumps and compressions. I'm trying to adapt my driving style.
31.08.2026 14:08 10 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Halfspin in there. Just can't control the rear in tidy corners. I also hit my neck in the stage, still lasting from the Power Stage of Rally Finland. Super painful for me in the last kilometers.
31.08.2026 14:08 10 (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): spun
31.08.2026 14:08 9 flash info (11 - Neuville Thierry / Wydaeghe Martijn): Obviously driving without any objectives today, other than trying to get through and maybe work with the car a bit in tricky conditions. Surprisingly dry, but let's see what the day brings. I'm sure it'll be an adventure today.
